MFA Legalization shipping to India. Postage ~ THB 2,200. Total 15–30 days. Rated 4.9/5.
MFA Consular Legalization for Thai documents headed to India or India documents used in Thailand. End-to-end processing with DHL/FedEx delivery in 7–15 business days. Estimated postage THB 2,200.
India requires MFA legalization followed by attestation at the สถานทูตอินเดีย. Every document we ship carries the issuing authority's full stamp and signature, certified translation by an MFA-recognized translator, MFA consular legalization, and สถานทูตอินเดีย attestation when required.
Employment, OCI. These use cases require Thai public documents fully processed through the Legalization Chain. Our completed documents are ready to file immediately after all three layers of certification.
India is a Hague Apostille Convention 1961 member, but Thailand is not — so Thai documents go through the Legalization Chain instead of receiving an Apostille. Our Legalization Chain takes slightly longer than Apostille but delivers equivalent legal effect. We get every step right the first time so documents aren't rejected at destination.
(1) Sign and have the PoA legalized at the Thai embassy in India. (2) Ship originals and copies to our Thailand team. (3) We obtain origin-agency certified copies, translate, MFA-legalize, and สถานทูตอินเดีย-attest. (4) DHL/FedEx ships back to India in 7–15 days — total 15–30 days from dispatch.
Bundled cost shipping to India ranges THB 4,000–15,000 per document depending on document type, number of copies, translation language, and legalization level (MFA only vs. สถานทูตอินเดีย attestation). Postage ~ THB 2,200. Request a precise bundled quote anytime.
Once the legalization chain is complete, we ship via DHL or FedEx Express to any destination worldwide in 3–7 days with full tracking. Postage starts at THB 1,800 to nearby countries and THB 2,500–3,500 to long-haul destinations.
Thailand uses a 3-step Legalization Chain (origin → MFA → embassy), while Hague Apostille Convention 1961 member states use a single-step Apostille from a Competent Authority — directly accepted by every member country. Thailand is not yet a member, so the MFA developed the legalization chain to ensure Thai documents are accepted in every destination country.
MFA legalization is performed at the Department of Consular Affairs, Chaeng Watthana Soi 19 (opposite the Government Complex) or at regional Passport Service offices. The five core steps: (1) bring the original document already certified by its origin authority (district office, university, DBD, court), (2) confirm whether translation is required first, (3) submit the application form, (4) pay THB 200 per copy (THB 400 express), (5) collect the document with the Department of Consular Affairs red seal.
Required documents: original document already certified by the origin agency, certified translation in English or destination language (if needed), translator's certification statement from a registered translator, original Thai national ID card and copy, Power of Attorney with THB 30 stamp duty (if not appearing in person), and a purpose letter from the destination authority.
MFA government fees are THB 200 per copy for standard (2-business-day return) and THB 400 per copy for express (1-business-day return). Our bundled service fee covers document running, follow-up, translation, embassy submission, and DHL/FedEx shipping — starting at THB 1,500 for simple cases and THB 5,000–10,000 for multi-agency documents.
A Notarial Services Attorney certifies signatures, identity, or copies as the first link inside Thailand. MFA Nitikorn certifies that the origin agency's stamp/signature (including the Notary's) is genuine. Embassy Legalization is the final step where the destination embassy authenticates the MFA seal. Documents become usable abroad only after all three layers are complete.
